A few boo's never hurt anyone - it comes with the territory when you're an X Factor judge!

During day two of the reality competition, producers apparently told judges L.A. Reid, Simon Cowell, Paula Abdul, and Cheryl Cole to not hold back, and the latter definitely took it into consideration, apparently asking one potential if she were "singing in a different language" and telling another that she "felt like you have been studying some hip-hop videos - it didn't seem real to me."

This didn't go over too well with some audience members, who responded to her criticism with boos! However, people really lost it when she said no to a 13 year contestant, even though she put a positive spin on it:

"You are 13 so you have plenty of time to practice. I am sure you will be great when you come back for X Factor in a couple of years. But I’m going to say no."

However, fear not, Chezza fans, because as a source close to production explained:

"Cheryl was noticeably tougher - but stood up to all the flak brilliantly especially as it was a much harsher crowd than the UK version. She’s got a job to do and she coped admirably. The booing wasn’t personal at her – all the panel got a rough ride. It’s part and parcel of her job to make difficult decisions that not everyone agrees with."

Exactly! You can't please everyone, and we give her a lot of credit to come in as the least recognizable judge (at least here) and be so composed and unwavering under all the audience pressure!

Every judge for any show gets that. Not a big deal. She still sucks though. Lol you always say America is gonna love her when really no ones gonna care about Shityl Cole. She's just gonna be that irrelevant girl from the X-Factor.

She is such a HYPOCRITE. Studying videos is exactly how she started. She was also offered a ballet scholarship as a teen and only went for a few weeks. She never stuck at anything. Just because SHE can afford tuition now in just about anything doesn't mean the rest of us can. It makes me sick that she is on that panel. It really does. Please boo her..

MEHHH, SHE'S A COMPLETE LOSER LIP SYNCER AND LIP DANCER LIKE THE REST OF THEM AUTO-TUNERS. BITCH PULEEEZ!! NOTICE XFACTOR HAS AN ALTERNATIVE PLAN IN MIND. IF BITCH COLE DOESNT PAN OUT FIRST SEASON THEY CAN EASILY SLIDE NICOLE FLOPZINGER FROM THE HOSTING POSITION INTO THE JUDGING POST. I THINK COWELL HAS HAD THAT IN MIND FROM THE BEGINNING. COLE WILL FLOP IN THE US, NO DOUBT. DONT KEEP YOUR HOPES UP FAT BOY…

I'm so sick and tired of this Cherl Cole character and I don't even know who she is! When will Perez learn that his over promotion and butt-kissing of certain artists is annoying and only makes people like me avoid the artist?

PEREZ I THINK YOU DO THIS ON PURPOSE TO CREATE A NEGATIVE BACKLASH.
YOU KNOW PEOPLE ARE GETTING SICK OF HER BECAUSE YOU ARE TRYING TO FORCE FEED. DO YOU REALLY NOT LIKE HER? DO YOU WANT TO SEE AMERICA HATE HER?

First of all, this B*tch cant sing and she thinks she has the right to tell people that they cant sing. Tweedy needs a reality check.
And Perez, stop thrashing Tweedy down our throats. The UK got sick of her. It is only a matter of time until America learns who the reall Tweedy is.

Why would they boo? Its only another no mark Brit coming here and taking all the money they can get by bitching at and looking down their noses at us. It's what they do, they don't know any better. Whats to boo at that?

I was there and she was great ! She was tough, but so was Simon, Paula and L.A.. Of all the singers we saw only four got through to the Fall show. And there was one FANTASTIC singer I can't wait to see again. Her name is Stacy Francis and I hope she continues to the finals !!!

Ive nothing against this woman and find HER delightful on the eye…What I do not like is that SHE cannot sing live herself without auto-tune..etc..
Therefore SHE should not be judging young people who look up to HER and similar people…These role models should set an example!! I also do not like it when SHE talks of a tough upbringing and not turning to Drugs,Crime etc! I am also from a working class background like HER!…It never crossed MY mind to turn to drugs etc..And the same goes for thousands of hard working Geordies…That kind of manipulation needs to stop Miss Cole..YOU are a very lucky woman to have Got where YOU have…There are many more talented persons who do not get the rewards they deserve! Never forget that!

OUR CHEZZA HAS ALWAYS BEEN SWEET GIRL AND I NO THAT THE YANKEES R GONNA TRY EAT HER ALIVE BUT I HOPE IT WONT LET IT GET 2 HER… B STRONG CHEZZA I NO THAT U'VE BEEN THROUGH A LOT LAST YEAR BUT I NO U CAN DO IT

Shane Redway -- a Canadian rapper and close friend of Drake's -- was killed early Saturday morning in a car crash. He was just 26 years old.

Redway and two others were killed when their car lost control, struck a guardrail and burst into flames. The crash occurred around 4am outside Pearson International Airport in Toronto. It's unclear who was behind the wheel. Police are investigating the crash.

Drake took to Instagram to remember Redway, posting two different tributes.
